Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. Each day he would set forth with a pouch full of colour pencils & a sketchpad, & visit different neighborhoods. This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures. It isn`t the Tokyo of packaged tours & glossy guidebooks, but a grittier, vibrant place, full of ordinary people going about their daily lives & the scenes & activities that unfold on the streets of a bustling metropolis. Here you find business men & women, hipsters, students, grandmothers, shopkeepers, policemen, & other urban types & tribes in all manner of dress & hairstyles. A temple nestles among skyscrapers; the corner grocery anchors a diverse assortment of dwellings, cafes, & shops--often tangled in electric lines. The artist mixes styles & tags his pictures with wry comments & observations. Realistically rendered advertisements or posters of pop stars contrast with cartoon sketches of iconic objects or droll vignettes, like a housewife walking her pet pig, a Godzilla statue in a local park, & an urban fishing pond that charges 400 yen per half hour. This very personal guide to Tokyo is organized by neighborhood with h&-drawn maps that provide an overview of each neighborhood, but what really defines them is what caught the artist`s eye & attracted his formidable drawing talent. Florent Chavouet begins his introduction by observing that, ” Tokyo is said to be the most beautiful of ugly cities.” With wit, a playful sense of humor, & the multicolour pencils of his kit, he sets aside the question of urban ugliness or beauty & captures the Japanese essence of a great city in this truly vital portrait. ...
